>>> THREE-TIME EMMY AWARD WINNER
UZO ADUBA KNOWS A THING OR TWO
ABOUT STEALING THE SCENE,
ESPECIALLY IN HER BREAKOUT ROLE
IN THE WIDELY POPULAR SERIES,
ONE OF MY FAVORITES, "ORANGE IS
THE NEW BLACK."
>> WELL, NOW UZO PLAYS BROOK, A
THERAPIST IN THE CULT FAVORITE
HBO SERIES, CALLED "IN
TREATMENT."
THE BOOK FOLLOWS BROOK AS SHE
FOLLOWS THE DELICATE BALANCE OF
HELPING HER PATIENTS AND HERSELF
WHICH ISNT ALWAYS EASY.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> I AM NOT DROWNING, I AM
FURIOUS.
DAY IN AND DAY OUT, I FEEL LIKE
ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO
ME TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO ABOUT
THIS MOMENT WE ARE IN.
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO TELL THEM.
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO TELL
MYSELF.
>> OH, UZO, WOW, WOW.
BEFORE WE GET INTO IT WE HAVE A
LOT TO TALK ABOUT.
I KNOW YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR
JENNA WHO WAS LABELED A
GERIATRIC MILLENNIAL BEFORE THE
NEW SEGMENT.
>> WELL, SHE WASNT ALONE
BECAUSE I WAS IN THAT --
>> WE ARE BOTH GERIATRICS.
>> GERIATRIC.
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK THE TERM
SHOULD BE?
>> WHAT?
>> FIRST?
>> FIRST WAVE MILLENNIAL.
OR SECOND WAVE.
>> ARE YOU HAPPY THAT WERE EVEN
CALLED MILLENNIALS, BY THE WAY?
I THOUGHT WE WERE WAY PAST THAT.
I LIKE MILLENNIALS AND
NON-MILLENNIALS POST THIS EPIC
MEME.
YOURS MAY BE THE MOST EPIC.
HOW IT STARTED VERSUS HOW ITS
GOING.
CAN WE LOOK AT WHAT YOU JUST
POSTED?
ITS THE BEST.
>> HOW IT STARTED VERSUS HOW
ITS GOING.
>> LOOK AT YOU IN FRONT OF YOUR
BILLBOARD!
>> YOU GUYS, LIKE LADIES, I
CANNOT EVEN -- I COULD NOT
BELIEVE IT.
LIKE, THIS FIRST PICTURE IS ME
AT MY RECITAL AS A KID, SECOND
GRADE.
AND I JUST LOVED ENTERTAINING,
LOVED THE ARTS, PERFORMING, ALL
OF IT.
NEVER IN MY LIFE DID I EVER
IMAGINE, EVER SEEING ANYTHING
LIKE IT.
IT WAS JUST BEYOND MY -- BEYOND,
BEYOND.
>> I SAW YOU IN TIMES SQUARE.
>> YOURE EVERYWHERE.
>> HUGE BILLBOARD.
YOU
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, IT SEEMED LIKE
IT WAS TIME FOR A TREATMENT.
WHY DID YOU SAY YES TO DOING
THIS?
>> I SAID YES BECAUSE OF THE
TIME WERE IN.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN -- EVERYBODY,
THE WORLD AS A WHOLE, A GLOBAL
FAMILY HAS BEEN THROUGH
SOMETHING.
AND IT FELT LIKE A TIME TO TALK.
IT ALSO FELT LIKE WE WERE LIVING
IN THIS TIME WHERE WE AS A
CULTURE WERE REALLY IN A
DIFFERENT PLACE AS IT RELATES TO
THE CONVERSATION ABOUT MENTAL
HEALTH AND THE STIGMA.
IT JUST FEELS LIKE EVERYONE
WANTS TO TALK.
>> YOU KNOW, WE WERE WATCHING
THIS AND THINKING ABOUT HOW HARD
THE JOB A THERAPIST WOULD BE.
AND I KNOW THAT YOU SAID YOU
TOOK THIS CHARACTER BROOK HOME
WITH YOU.
BECAUSE YOURE NOT ONLY
LISTENING TO OTHERS PROBLEMS,
BUT THE WHOLE WORLD FEELS LIKE
ITS ON YOUR SHOULDERS, YOU
KNOW, AND DURING THIS TIME.
WHAT WAS PLAYING BROOK LIKE?
>> YOU KNOW, HONESTLY, JENNA,
BROOK WAS -- IT WAS SO
UNEXPECTED.
COMING OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF IT,
WHEN I WENT INTO IT I FELT LIKE
WE HAD SO MUCH CONNECTION IN
TERMS OF SOME OF HER LIFE
EXPERIENCES, THE PAIN AND LOSS.
BUT WHAT I NEVER IMAGINED WAS
THAT I WOULD GET SOMETHING OUT
OF IT IN THE WAY THAT I DID
BECAUSE USUALLY WHEN I DO MY
WORK, IT FEELS LIKE IT GOES OUT
THIS WAY.
ITS IN SERVICE, RIGHT?
BUT I FELT LIKE I FOUND SO MUCH
HEALING, PEACE, GROWTH FROM THE
OTHER SIDE OF IT.
IM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS PART.
>> WE ALSO WANT TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
WE KNOW YOU LOST YOUR MOM AND WE
JUST WANT TO EMBRACE YOU IN OUR
HEART AND SOUL AND JUST LET YOU
KNOW THAT WE LOVE YOU.
WERE SHOWING A PICTURE OF HER
BECAUSE, WHY WOULDNT WE?
WHY WOULDNT WE?
>> THANK YOU.
>> WHAT WAS SHE LIKE?
>> OH, MY GOSH, SHE WAS THE BEST
THING THATS EVER HAPPENED TO
ME, YOU KNOW?
SHE WAS THE GREATEST MOTHER,
LOVING SUPPORT.
OH!
>> IM LOVING THIS.
>> UPLIFTING.
LADIES, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE ME
SITTING HERE IN THIS CHAIR IF IT
WERE NOT FOR MY MOTHER.
SHE WAS MY GREATEST CHEERLEADER.
MY NUMBER ONE SON, SHE WOULD
SAY.
WHEN I MYSELF DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH
HEART FOR BELIEF, SHE BELIEVED
FOR ME.
AND THATS ALL YOU CAN
[ INAUDIBLE ].
>> WE KNOW THAT SHE IS SO PROUD,
LOOKING DOWN AT THAT BILLBOARD
IN TIMES SQUARE.
>> UZO, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> BY THE WAY, YOURE IN
EVERYTHING, TOO.
WE DIDNT EVEN MENTION ZOLO, YOU
HAVE SO MANY PROJECTS WE DIDNT
HAVE TIME.
WE NEED SEVEN SEGMENTS.
>> PLEASE, WE NEED MORE TIME
WITH YOU.
>> I WOULD LOVE TO.
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A FIRST
WAVE LADIES --
